Governor cheers up town
THE Governor of Queensland Dr Jeannette Young and husband Professor Graeme Nimmo have visited Cardwell in a morale-boosting visit after the recent floods.
A Cassowary Coast Regional Council spokeswoman said the visit “highlights the concern and support from the monarch and state government for our affected communities”.
“We were proud to show her excellency the incredible efforts of our volunteers and emergency services, whose hard work has been critical to the recovery,” she said.
“From clearing roads to supporting residents, their dedication has made a real difference.
“The visit raised awareness of the ongoing recovery, provided moral support to those affected and showcased the progress being made as we rebuild stronger and more resilient communities.
“A big thank you to all those involved in the recovery efforts. We are grateful for the support from all levels of government and the efforts of our local heroes.”
Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, Premier David Crisafulli, and Member for Kennedy Bob Katter also visited Ingham last weekend to get updates on the floods.
